I discovered a note on the lounge the other morning when I was cleaning up requesting a plate to be sent to school for Grandparents day! It hadn’t actually been handed to me but there it was. I looked through the pantry for ingredients that I could whip up into something good enough for a Grandparents morning tea. Luckily we had some overripe bananas and ingredients for a cake, so I combined the two and came up with a Banana & Chocolate cake.

Happily this batter makes a lot of cake so there was enough for two cakes. One for school and one for us.

INGREDIENTS

4 eggs

1 3/4 cups brown sugar

2 over ripe bananas

2 1/4 cups self raising flour

1 cup cold water (with half teaspoon bi-carb soda)

185g butter (melted)

4 tablespoons cocoa

2 tablespoons hot water

splash vanilla essence

ICING

2 cups icing mixture

1 cup butter (melted)

2 tablespoons cocoa

splash Milk

Method

Preheat Oven 150 Deg

Grease two round tins (cake will make more than enough for one cake so better to have two tins to make a layer cake)
